Let's solve each of the given linear equations step by step. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

---

1. Solve:


\[
\frac{2x + 5}{3} = 3x - 10
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 3:
\[
3 \cdot \frac{2x + 5}{3} = 3 \cdot (3x - 10)
\]
\[
2x + 5 = 9x - 30
\]

#### Step 2: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
2x - 9x = -30 - 5
\]
\[
-7x = -35
\]

#### Step 3: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{-35}{-7}
\]
\[
x = 5
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{5}
\]

---

2. Solve:


\[
\frac{a - 8}{3} = \frac{a - 3}{2}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding the least common denominator (LCD), which is 6. Multiply both sides by 6:
\[
6 \cdot \frac{a - 8}{3} = 6 \cdot \frac{a - 3}{2}
\]
\[
2(a - 8) = 3(a - 3)
\]

#### Step 2: Distribute the constants:
\[
2a - 16 = 3a - 9
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(a\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
2a - 3a = -9 + 16
\]
\[
-a = 7
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(a\):
\[
a = -7
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-7}
\]

---

3. Solve:


\[
\frac{7y + 2}{5} = \frac{6y - 5}{11}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 55. Multiply both sides by 55:
\[
55 \cdot \frac{7y + 2}{5} = 55 \cdot \frac{6y - 5}{11}
\]
\[
11(7y + 2) = 5(6y - 5)
\]

#### Step 2: Distribute the constants:
\[
77y + 22 = 30y - 25
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(y\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
77y - 30y = -25 - 22
\]
\[
47y = -47
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(y\):
\[
y = \frac{-47}{47}
\]
\[
y = -1
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-1}
\]

---

4. Solve:


\[
x - 2x + 2 - \frac{16}{3x} + 5 = 3 - \frac{7}{2x}
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side:
\[
x - 2x + 2 + 5 - \frac{16}{3x} = -x + 7 - \frac{16}{3x}
\]

So the equation becomes:
\[
-x + 7 - \frac{16}{3x} = 3 - \frac{7}{2x}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is \(6x\). Multiply both sides by \(6x\):
\[
6x \left( -x + 7 - \frac{16}{3x} \right) = 6x \left( 3 - \frac{7}{2x} \right)
\]

Distribute \(6x\):
\[
6x(-x) + 6x(7) - 6x \cdot \frac{16}{3x} = 6x(3) - 6x \cdot \frac{7}{2x}
\]
\[
-6x^2 + 42x - 32 = 18x - 21
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms to one side:
\[
-6x^2 + 42x - 32 - 18x + 21 = 0
\]
\[
-6x^2 + 24x - 11 = 0
\]

#### Step 4: Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = -6\), \(b = 24\), and \(c = -11\):
\[
x = \frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^2 - 4(-6)(-11)}}{2(-6)}
\]
\[
x = \frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576 - 264}}{-12}
\]
\[
x = \frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{312}}{-12}
\]
\[
x = \frac{-24 \pm 2\sqrt{78}}{-12}
\]
\[
x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{78}}{-6}
\]
\[
x = 2 \mp \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}
\]

The solutions are:
\[
x = 2 - \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6} \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2 + \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}
\]

Since the problem asks for proper fractions, we need to check if these can be simplified further. However, they are already in their simplest forms.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{2 - \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}, 2 + \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}}
\]

---

5. Solve:


\[
\frac{1}{2}x + 7x - 6 = 7x + \frac{1}{4}
\]

#### Step 1: Combine like terms on the left-hand side:
\[
\frac{1}{2}x + 7x - 6 = \frac{1}{2}x + 7x - 6
\]
\[
\frac{1}{2}x + 7x = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{14}{2}x = \frac{15}{2}x
\]

So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{15}{2}x - 6 = 7x + \frac{1}{4}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 4. Multiply both sides by 4:
\[
4 \left( \frac{15}{2}x - 6 \right) = 4 \left( 7x + \frac{1}{4} \right)
\]
\[
4 \cdot \frac{15}{2}x - 4 \cdot 6 = 4 \cdot 7x + 4 \cdot \frac{1}{4}
\]
\[
30x - 24 = 28x + 1
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
30x - 28x = 1 + 24
\]
\[
2x = 25
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{25}{2}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{25}{2}}
\]

---

6. Solve:


\[
\frac{3}{4}x + 4x = \frac{7}{8} + 6x - 6
\]

#### Step 1: Combine like terms on both sides:
On the left-hand side:
\[
\frac{3}{4}x + 4x = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{16}{4}x = \frac{19}{4}x
\]

On the right-hand side:
\[
\frac{7}{8} + 6x - 6 = 6x + \frac{7}{8} - \frac{48}{8} = 6x - \frac{41}{8}
\]

So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{19}{4}x = 6x - \frac{41}{8}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 8. Multiply both sides by 8:
\[
8 \cdot \frac{19}{4}x = 8 \cdot 6x - 8 \cdot \frac{41}{8}
\]
\[
2 \cdot 19x = 48x - 41
\]
\[
38x = 48x - 41
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
38x - 48x = -41
\]
\[
-10x = -41
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{-41}{-10}
\]
\[
x = \frac{41}{10}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{41}{10}}
\]

---

7. Solve:


\[
\frac{7x}{2} - \frac{5x}{2} = \frac{20x}{3} + 10
\]

#### Step 1: Combine like terms on the left-hand side:
\[
\frac{7x}{2} - \frac{5x}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} = x
\]

So the equation becomes:
\[
x = \frac{20x}{3} + 10
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 3:
\[
3 \cdot x = 3 \cdot \left( \frac{20x}{3} + 10 \right)
\]
\[
3x = 20x + 30
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
3x - 20x = 30
\]
\[
-17x = 30
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{30}{-17}
\]
\[
x = -\frac{30}{17}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{30}{17}}
\]

---

8. Solve:


\[
\frac{6x + 1}{2} + 1 = \frac{7x - 3}{3}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 6. Multiply both sides by 6:
\[
6 \left( \frac{6x + 1}{2} + 1 \right) = 6 \left( \frac{7x - 3}{3} \right)
\]
\[
6 \cdot \frac{6x + 1}{2} + 6 \cdot 1 = 6 \cdot \frac{7x - 3}{3}
\]
\[
3(6x + 1) + 6 = 2(7x - 3)
\]

#### Step 2: Distribute the constants:
\[
18x + 3 + 6 = 14x - 6
\]
\[
18x + 9 = 14x - 6
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
18x - 14x = -6 - 9
\]
\[
4x = -15
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{-15}{4}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{15}{4}}
\]

9. Solve:


\[
\frac{3a - 2}{3} + \frac{2a + 3}{2} = a + \frac{7}{6}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 6. Multiply both sides by 6:
\[
6 \left( \frac{3a - 2}{3} + \frac{2a + 3}{2} \right) = 6 \left( a + \frac{7}{6} \right)
\]
\[
6 \cdot \frac{3a - 2}{3} + 6 \cdot \frac{2a + 3}{2} = 6 \cdot a + 6 \cdot \frac{7}{6}
\]
\[
2(3a - 2) + 3(2a + 3) = 6a + 7
\]

#### Step 2: Distribute the constants:
\[
6a - 4 + 6a + 9 = 6a + 7
\]
\[
12a + 5 = 6a + 7
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(a\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
12a - 6a = 7 - 5
\]
\[
6a = 2
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(a\):
\[
a = \frac{2}{6}
\]
\[
a = \frac{1}{3}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}
\]

---

10. Solve:


\[
x - \frac{x - 1}{2} = 1 - \frac{x - 2}{3}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding the LCD, which is 6. Multiply both sides by 6:
\[
6 \left( x - \frac{x - 1}{2} \right) = 6 \left( 1 - \frac{x - 2}{3} \right)
\]
\[
6 \cdot x - 6 \cdot \frac{x - 1}{2} = 6 \cdot 1 - 6 \cdot \frac{x - 2}{3}
\]
\[
6x - 3(x - 1) = 6 - 2(x - 2)
\]

#### Step 2: Distribute the constants:
\[
6x - 3x + 3 = 6 - 2x + 4
\]
\[
3x + 3 = 10 - 2x
\]

#### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other:
\[
3x + 2x = 10 - 3
\]
\[
5x = 7
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{7}{5}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{7}{5}}
\]

---

Final Answers:


\[
\boxed{5, -7, -1, 2 - \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}, 2 + \frac{\sqrt{78}}{6}, \frac{25}{2}, \frac{41}{10}, -\frac{30}{17}, -\frac{15}{4}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{7}{5}}
